Potentially. The crank should be ok if it did overheat. I would be worried about the bearings. You might want to check those. Post up some pics Sam

Ian, you should get rid of "Grumpy Old Man" under your user name, replace it with "Helpful Old Man" haha I wish there were more guys like you on this forum. If I replaced the existing wires with some Tefzal wire and a Deutsch connector, is that going to be using the same plug as original...

That thing looks crazy! I'd like to see some engine bay pics

Keep at it, don't become another sack-ridder like your co-worker. It is something electrical from you're description, maybe get a TSRM look at some wiring diagrams, check your grounds, etc. Sam

The only thing that would effect your compression ratio is the amount of material taken off of the head and block when it was machined and the HG you selected. Oversized pistons won't effect compression ratio. The only way you could measure it is by taking the measurement of the cyl. head...

Yes, the circled areas. As far as re-insulating, should electrical tape be used? or new wires? How should I go about doing that? Thanks, Sam

The TRD shift knob is the best IMHO, You on the SOGI shifter or aftermarket? By the way, where in WI are you? Sam

Exactly! Why do all these MKIII Supra kids want to be all JDM tyte with their BOVs vented to atmosphere yo!? Just recirulate it, you'll still here the BOV. it just wont be as mad jdm tyte as your friends civic, and...Best of all! It will work like its supposed to! Sam

Here are a few pics of those marks... Ian, I don't know if you saw my question regarding CPS? Will cracked insulation on the wires cause an issue? I'll try n get some pics of that as well. Sam

Any ideas about the marks in the cyl head? pics to come this evening Also, anyone know if that will be a problem for my CPS? Sam

BTW, when i took the pulley off mine I had to use a puller. Just bringing that to the table. Sam

Close ups of the strange marks or the casting numbers? Way off topic here.. I pulled the cover off my CPS, I caught it before it was ever leaked into. Anyways, on one of the wires the insullation is cracked and I can see the wires. Is that gonna be an issue down the road? Thank you for the...

Are you talking about the cast T4 mani on ebay? Sam

I really like it, but as mension'd... the whole 2-piece thing. Whats the material made of? I was thinking, maybe once its installed on the car and in place, you could heat the end of a flat head screw driver and kinda "melt the two pieces together" to blend the seam:naughty: Maybe? Maybe...

Anyone know what those "melted" looking spots are inside the head? Thanks agian for the extremely helpful replys guys! -Sam

The bottom one is from my 86.5 I'll check the intake ports. Sam

This is the one I took off my car This is my spare cyl. head Sam

Thanks for the good idea regarding the cam bearing caps and about the plaque! I have no idea what the "melted" spots are. Theres a mark where every head bolt goes. Exactly. Thats why I want to do the motor right the first time. Once thats done there is always room for improvement...

Thanks for the reply, I just about positive that I'm gonna be going with forged internals. On my thread on SF, someone thought the 'Plaque' on the cyl. head was a junk-yard ID tag.. anyother thoughts on that? My question now is regarding the cam bearing surfaces. If they get machined or...

Heres some pics of that plaque i was talking about and of the cam bearings: Here is a Pic of a spare head. In the pics above, there are strange marks on the walls inside the head, near where the shims are, this head does not have those marks.. Thanks for the input, -Sam...
